How to fix a Broken Lipstick in 5 easy steps: DIY,Tutorial with images

Out of all the hell that can break on a beauty junkie, two things top my list (tell me what makeup mishap you have experienced).. One- a missed sale and Two- a broken lipstick...!!!To me a broken lipstick is directly proportional to a broken heart,worst still if you splurged on it! But Boy Oh Boy! We fixed it!!See How!Things You Will Need :

A broken lipstick off course.

A hand sanitizer

Paper towels/Tissues

Candle or lighter

Match sticks (if you are using a candle)

Cotton buds

Refrigerator :P

Method:

1. Wash your hands,sanitize them and spread a paper towel on your work station as it might get messy.

2. Slightly heat up the
tube from where the lipstick got uprooted over a candle or lighter.
Similarly heat the bottom of the lipstick bullet too. Make sure both the
ends become flat.

3. Apply a little pressure and fix the lipstick over the
bullet and refrigerate it for 2-3 hours. I place the lipstick in deep
freeze for half an hour though.

4. Once fixed, take the lipstick out of the freezer and clean the bullet with a tissue.

5. Now roll the lipstick bullet over the candle flame for 2-3 seconds to achieve a ridge free,seamless finish! Voila..!! Done!
